Cards Pink Challenge

I love pink, have I mentioned that?  

So, when I saw the challenge on the CARDS blog, I had to play along.  100% pink.  Everything pink.  No other color.  I gotta say, it was harder than I had thought it would be!

I got to thinking about pink and what pink means to me, and I always think of the peonies in my wedding bouquet.   So, here's what I came up with...

Super clean & simple- totally my style.

Mother's Day Card - Part 2

Alright, here's my other Mother's Day card, and this one is actually for my mom!  I wanted something a little softer for my mom, which is funny because she's quite spunky!  

I used Paper Smooches Pretty Phrases with some beautiful October Afternoon patterned paper.   I have to admit, I got the idea from one of Kim Hughes cards.   I love that idea! 

Mother's Day Card - Part 1

Last night, as I was gazing at my supplies and pondering what I wanted to create- I realized that Mother's Day is actually days away and I had to create a card for both my Mom and my Mother-in-law!  Um, time to get to work!

For my first card, I wanted to do something very fun!  I've had this card sketched out for awhile but it's been sidelined for one reason or another...

I used the clouds from Paper Smooches Spiffy Scooters and stamped them in Aqua Mist and Fresh Snow.  Then I used Paper Smooches Giddy Bugs butterfly.  I couldn't decide on a sentiment, so I combined Paper Smooches Pretty Phrases with Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler to create my final sentiment.

Have I mentioned that I love Paper Smooches.  I've been on a total Paper Smooches kick lately!

Teacher Appreciation Week

It's Teacher Appreciation Week and with that comes special activities for my son's preschool class.  This week, one of the things all the kids in the class are supposed to do is make a card at home for the teacher.  YAY!  I knew this would be SO much fun.  

Here's his work of art!  I'm not sure my Copics will ever be the same and I'm out of stickles now but it was totally worth it!  

He did everything on this card except stamp the stamp with ink (3 year old boy with an inkpad- i don't think so!), tie the bow to the button, and adhere the layers to the card!

 I made a card at the same time also for the teacher.  Here's mine, although I'm totally head over heels for my son's!
